    Jelly Fish salad tasted clean with just enough spice
    Grace L.

    We had an amazing time here. I probably should have reviewed this place months ago, but I'm just now getting to it. Every visit is excellent food, excellent service and amazing time with friends and family. The last couple of times, I just wanted to enjoy the moment so I forgot to take pictures......but I'm sure we will be back again. Pearl Bay is definitely an enhancement to the quality of living in Dublin. Everyone seeing this post......You guys should really try it. You won't be disappointed. Everything is cook to perfection. The flavor and texture is what will keep you wanting to go back for more.

    The food here is pretty good, even if it's 114 degrees outside. Right next to the theater, parking lot was quite packed. Food choices are good, although limited than their other locations. Much cleaner facility. Great place to chill and enjoy some delicious foods!

    Food is average for this type of restaurant. Price is definitely reasonable with higher end decor. For a weekday lunch, service is adequate but not exceptional. When we told them that there was a piece of broken clay in the shrimp dumpling, the waitress only offered to replace the dish with no apologies. Out of all the dim sums we ordered, there items were memorable: Black sesame roll, pan fried taro root cubes with XO sauce & roast duck. Others are average.

    Our brunch spread

    We went a little crazy with our brunch order last weekend because we showed up starving! But, it gave us a chance to try a lot of different dishes :) Not every dish we ordered was a hit unfortunately. Let me start with the highlights. House Special Clay Pot Fried Rice: This was my favorite dish of the meal. The rice was cooked to perfection, not too wet and not too dry. It was just right. For the greens, they seemed to use either Asparagus or Chinese Broccoli stems (chopped), though I couldn't quite tell which. They were generous with the seafood too. It came loaded with Shrimp, Crab Meat, and other seafood, and everything tasted delicious. I'd definitely order this again. Lobster E Noodles: I enjoyed this dish overall, especially the amount of lobster they included. They definitely didn't skimp on it. That said, the noodles were a little softer than I prefer and may have been slightly overcooked. At $56, it was also almost twice the price of the Clay Pot Fried Rice, which we enjoyed way much more. Because of that, I don't think this dish was worth the price. Honey Walnut Shrimp: This one was a bit of a disappointment. The shrimp wasn't as juicy as I expected, and the sauce just wasn't as tasty as some of the Honey Walnut Shrimp dishes I've had elsewhere. I'd skip this one next time. Steamed Dim Sum Variety: We tried several items, including Pork Shumai, Shrimp Dumplings, Noodle Rolls, and a few others. Overall, everything was very good. The Pork Shumai was probably my favorite of the bunch. It was steamed perfectly and delicious. Xiao Long Bao: This was very disappointing to me. The presentation was excellent, with each dumpling served in its own small ceramic spoon, which looked really nice and cute. However, I thought the dumpling skin was a bit thicker than what I'm used to. The service was good overall. The restaurant itself looked very chic, modern, and new. My only complaint is that the tables were placed a little too close together, which made it feel somewhat cramped when seated next to other patrons. Other than that, the staff were friendly and accommodating. Whenever we asked for things like Chili Oil, they were happy to bring it out quickly.

    Solid dim sum! They have a huge variety of dishes, including more unique ones that you wouldn't find at the standard dim sum place. Service is really nice & accommodating, but the food came out at kind of wack times. I'm going to attribute that to the fact that it was a holiday (Father's Day). Presentation of everything was lovely--from the place settings to the plating. A lot of cute little details! Would come again! Also our experience was super nice, as we had a large party and were somehow able to walk right in to a private room, with a TON of space (table and chair space alike).

    Pearl Bay Manor is located in the Hacienda Crossings shopping center, occupying a space across from the Regal IMAX Theater. My buddy George F. and his wife invited Steve T., his wife, and I to a dim sum lunch on 10/16/2025. It was pretty busy when we walked in at around 12:30pm. The wait for a table was short. We were seated quickly at a large round table in front of the impressive live seafood tanks. The interior was very clean and nicely decorated. Aside from the aforementioned seafood tanks, the giant LED display in the back was also very eye-catching. George did most of the ordering and he got a plethora of items. Overall, I thought they were authentic and delicious. I especially loved the white pepper pork tripe, siu mai, steamed bean curd skin rolls, and pan-fried noodles with spareribs and bitter melon. They were definitely the standouts. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Some of them were Cantonese speaking only. Based on this experience, I thought this place was solid. If you decide to visit, you can expect an authentic dim sum experience in a comfortable setting. 4 solid stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site.

    Came here during the week for a late dim sum lunch around 1:30. I was surprised how extensive and colorfully photographed every item was on their paper, self check menu. Loved that! I went through every section to see how much I wanted to eat and try so many things. Made a note to bring more people next time. Restaurant was open and spacious like ones you'd go to in HKG. Hot tea- 3.5/5 Very diluted. Leak proof pot. Shocker. Egg tart 4/5 - Filling was good. Crust was like a wife pastry sticking the roof of your mouth. Gai Lan 4/5 Piping hot like they nuked it warm. Fresh and crunchy stems Beef tripe 5/5 - Perfectly seasoned and tender. No weird aftertaste IYKYK. One of my favorite dishes Beef ball 4/5- Very tasty and tender. Loved the dried bean curd they steam it in. Fam doused in W sauce BBQ Pork Bun 3/5- piping hot fluffy bun but the flavor of the filling was...off. I never not finish but I left half on my plate Fried pork dumpling 3.5/5- Nice crunchy mochi texture. Cute pear shape. But...the thickness was a bit much. The filling would have been fine if I loved dried shrimp . There was waaaay too much dried shrimp flavor to my liking that we left 1/3 leftover. BBQ Pork Rice Roll- 4/5. Delicious! Good flavor and filling was different than the steam BBQ pork bun. Thank goodness. Sesame Roll- I haven't seen this on a menu since forever. Very nostalgic. Too bad it was sold out Siu Mai 4.5/5 The grand finally. I only ate half bc I was so stuffed by the time it arrived (last). Lots of shrimp vs pork. It needed a bit more...umph for me but DD and Hubs loved it. Piping hot they kept burning their mouths rather than waiting for it to cool down. Service was great. The last even helped us pack our leftovers. Restrooms were clean. Will definitely come back to try the other noodle dishes and even give their dinner a try too.

    Pearl Bay Manor served up a Chinese feast on a cloth-lined table and circular turntable for ease of passing food around family style. Every dish was excellent. Staff were helpful when I asked for vinegar and white pepper to supplement the soup. The space is wide and tall inside, so it's aptly named a manor.

    Great food, spacious with hidden banquet rooms in back, and attentive wait staff! Managers did a wonderful job coordinating waiters and servers to ensure a great experience. A few inventive new-to-us dishes that we haven't seen before and we will have to go back and try them all!

    Ordered like 10 dishes because I wanted to try this place and waited a long time. You have to wait close to the entrance to hear them because their speakers don't project outside. They will give away your table in a heartbeat so try to stay close. But they will also help you out and seat you next if they've given away your spot. All of the food I would say I've had better in Oakland or San Francisco. But it's not bad for where it's located. The salted egg yolk pumpkin didn't have that saltiness you crave. Taro puffs were not very savory or too much taro for the filling ratio. The water chestnut jello thing was sweet and crisp. I'd never had this before so it was a new experience and worth trying . The Xiao long bao Shanghai dumplings had too thick dough imo. Egg custard was so eggy I've never tasted one so egg forward I don't know what their recipe is but I'm not a fan.

    Don't come here during holidays. Their kitchen isn't capable of keeping up. They didn't take any reservations under 10 people. So we couldn't make any reservation. They had a line coming out the door before they opened. So by the time the first wave of people sat down the rest has to wait for the second wave. But the kitchen seemed to be overwhelmed with the orders and they weren't able to get the orders out. So the people just sat and sat and sat. Only about 4 tables were cleared out after 1hr and 15min. Go find another location for holidays or come and line up many hours before they opened.

    Fantastic food and service. We attended a banquet dinner to celebrate my father-in-law and ate so many wonderful dishes. The place is brightly lit, clean and well taken care of.

    First time here and it can feel a bit out of place as it's a Chinese Restaurant smack in the middle of a mall that's normally occupied by American food. The restaurant itself isn't that big compared to others, and the seats were tightly packed. There was a 45 minute delay from when we order the food till when the soup first arrived, and the rest of the food came shortly after. It was worth the wait as the food was fresh and tasty.

Unfortunately, my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. The food quality has gone downhill, the prices have become excessive, and what bothered me most was feeling misled by the billing. A cucumber special was advertised at $5.95, but when the bill arrived, the charge was $14.90. On top of that, an automatic gratuity was added to a table of only three people with one of them being 4 year old. She barely even ate with tea price per person. I don't mind paying premium prices for great food and service, but I do expect transparency. Many of the dim sum items also felt extremely overpriced, $9 for two egg tarts is hard to justify and sadly they weren't worth that. Felt like it was not fresh. It's unfortunate because this used to be a place I genuinely looked forward to visiting. Sadly, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

Susie lives in the Bay Area and chose this restaurant. I was skeptical about keeping the cost low as we were having dim sum. I was afraid it would be outrageously expensive and not filling enough. She proved me wrong. Excluding the tea and other drinks it came to $30 per person and that included tax and tip. This was cheaper then the last banquet we had and I actually enjoyed most of the dishes here. The only dish I didn't have was the scallop and shrimp dumplings as the order came out with only 3 and there was 11 us at the table. I'm not sure how that was supposed to feed the table. We arrived at 11:10am and to ensure we weren't late. The parking lot was packed when we arrived. Saying that we only had to go up and down two isles to find a parking space. I have to add that the parking spaces were tight. We had the Honda Pilot and it barely fit in a space and that isn't the biggest car out there. We were told that our table was on the 2nd floor and to go to the side door. We walked around the side and found a door. There was not signage indicating it was part of the restaurant. The right side was locked, but the left side was unlocked. When we entered we were warmed with a sigh that said the floor was wet and to beware of slipping. They had a staircase to the left and a elevator to the right. That was a blessing, I know some of our party wouldn't have made it to the banquet with out the elevator. When we exited the elevator we were met by a staff member with their cart waiting to do downstairs. So the elevator serves guests and staff alike. When we got out of the elevator the staff member pointed us down the hall. We stopped at the bathroom on the way down the hall. Once we found the restaurant we were pointed to the back where we joined our party. We had 3 tables in the back which was nice. It beats being out in the open and disturbing everyone as we stood around chit chatted prior to being served. I felt bad for the table of 2 that were posted right next to the wall near our party. They just had a bad table. All the other tables upstairs were farther away and didn't feel like they were in our space. I have to add that the service was great. They kept coming to refill the waters and tea pot with tea, not just hot water. And we never felt rushed. We had a nice table on the edge of our tables agains the wall that we were able to hang our family tree. We are all 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins and some of us have never met the others before so we really needed a family tree that color coded what generation you were. My favorite dish was the steamed sticky rice in Lotus root, next was the BBQ Pork Buns, third was the shrimp and pork dumplings. Though I don't recall seeing any shrimp in those dumplings.Thought they were big and meaty. My least favorite was the green onion pancake. It just wasn't fluffy and flakey. It was too dense and lacked flavor. And a little greasy. We had 12 dishes and were filled with some chow fun left over. The chow fun wasn't that great. It was filled with beef which was good, but it lacked sauce and the noodles weren't all that.

That minor detail aside, the food was genuinely delicious. We did notice a funny little quirk on the menu, though: there are two completely different dishes both labeled as number "202."

My brother and I met a few friends here for dinner on 11/28/2025. At around 7:15pm, the place was completely full. Fortunately, our friends arrived a little earlier and secured a table. The interior was clean. A couple TVs on the walls were showing different sporting and news programs. Their menu featured a wide array of non-Americanized Cantonese fare. We decided to do family style and got half a dozen dishes to share. They were: Beef Filet with Mixed Mushrooms, 1lb of BBQ Pork, Fujian Fried Rice, Beef Chow Fun with Gravy, House Pan Fried Noodles, and Salted Pork Bone and Peanut Porridge. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes. Overall, I was impressed by quality and authenticity. Despite the slightly higher price point comparing to other similar restaurants, they didn't skimp on anything. The rice and noodle dishes were loaded with delicious toppings, and the taste was on point. The BBQ pork and the beef filet dish were both fantastic. The meat/fat ratio of the BBQ pork was just right, and the beef filet cubes were tender and flavorful. The porridge was just okay. My mom's version still reigns supreme. Service we received was very good. Our server was very friendly and gave us helpful suggestions. She did forget our iced water, but I am willing to overlook that. I got a chance the chat with staff before we left, they were all very genuine and friendly people. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience here. The food was authentic and tasty, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want authentic Cantonese food but don't want to pay the super premium price, this is definitely a good option for you. I will return. 4 solid stars.

    Came back recently to dine in as we were hungry for some delicious Cantonese-style food. We…read moretypically do takeout throughout the week especially when we're sick but decided to dine in! They have 2 televisions inside constantly playing bluey so your kids can chill out watching bluey while eating porridge. Love the great service they always provide and can't beat their portions also. Always love ordering the preserved egg and pork porridge with Chinese donuts on the side. They also have dim sum on the menu that's a bit pricier than what I'm used to, but convenient to have alongside your porridge and steamed rice rolls. Always a treat to visit!

    I was extremely excited to hear there was a rice roll spot near the area we were staying for a…read moreshort weekend trip. - PARKING - There's a good amount of parking but it was very busy when we got there! Almost no spots open besides one that was too small for other cars but luckily we fit. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Not the cleanest or tidiest of restaurants but usually those are the ones where you know the food is what brings people in regardless. We signed in on a paper sheet and were called to be seated shortly after. After ordering, the food came out very quickly - we almost didn't have enough space on the table! - FOOD - BBQ Pork & Dry Shrimp ($10.25): I'm used to the BBQ Pork being more chopped up, but they keep the pieces here bigger. I think I like BBQ Pork and Dry Shrimp separate more. Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll ($9.00): One of the classics, and will always be my number one pick! I prefer my rice rolls to not have lettuce in them though. Dough Stick Rice Noodle Roll ($7.95): I thought that the dough stick could have been fresher, it was a bit stale by the time we ate it. Pork and Gold Preserved Egg Congee ($7.50): Really well flavored, and good amount of pork and egg. The consistency is thicker than I'm used to but it's still good. Shrimp Wonton Soup ($11.75): Nice clean broth, and the wontons were nicely seasoned. I do wish there was more soup. Shrimp Dumplings ($7.25): We just wanted to try these, and honestly they were just OK. Skin fell apart pretty easily but the shrimp was big. Fried Sesame Balls ($6.00): Also just OK. Typical red bean filling, nothing too special but nice to end the meal with something sweet. - OVERALL - A nice quick lunch with some comforting favorites. I wish we had a rice roll spot in my town!

    So glad to have found another great Sichuan restaurant not too far from home! We visited for lunch…read moreand were impressed by the variety of options on their lunch menu, but my mom, sister, and I decided to order from the à la carte menu instead. We shared the beef stew noodles, chili oil wontons, steamed tofu with fish, and the Sichuan spicy fried chicken with bone. Every dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly satisfied my craving for that bold, numbing, spicy Sichuan flavor. I can't wait to come back again soon!

    Good food but lukewarm service. The hostess was all smiles when she seated us, but spent the entire…read moretime with the other owner chatting up some other customers and ignoring every other table. We got the green onion pancake ($8.95), kung pao chicken ($15.95), yang chou fried rice ($13.95), and one other stir fried dish I can't totally remember but believe was pork with mushrooms and bell peppers. The kung pao chicken had some flavor in the sauce I wasn't totally loving, but was spicy and packed with chicken, peanuts, onions, and bell peppers. The green onion pancake was crispy and delicious, with eight slices to an order. But the star of the show was the yang chou fried rice, which is that fluffy, soft type of fried rice I absolutely love. That was the first thing that got finished at the table. Portions are generous. My brother and I are both good eaters but we still left with leftovers. However, be careful with the take-out containers here; the kung pao leaked for some reason and the containers just felt a little flimsy in general. Luckily they were in a plastic bag, otherwise it would've gotten all over the car. Plenty of other things on the menu to try and I wouldn't object to coming here again, I just wouldn't drive all the way out specifically for it.
